Conference Description:

We invite researchers, educators, administrators, policy makers, and others to join us at IC21CE 2015 in Dubai to connect with like-minded people to learn about current trends, and to grow as a member of a global community of people committed to preparing citizens for the demands of the 21st century. The primary aim of this International Conference is to encourage participants representing an exciting diversity of countries, cultures, and religions to meet and exchange ideas, practices and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue. Participants are encouraged to present his/her research (multiple submissions welcome) or just attend to learn from the diverse group of global researchers and experts assembled in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world.

Value Added Opportunities:

The 21st Century Academic Forum has a new initiative called the Research Support Program (RSP) that allows researchers to attend free workshops on general research skills, as well as on presentation and academic writing skills. Our team of volunteers will lead workshops and work with individuals on a one-on-one basis to assist in developing his/her academic research skills. We hope that relationships will be forged at the conference that will continue on well after the conclusion of the Dubai conference.

IC21CE 2015 participants will also be able to attend the International Conference on Language Learning and Teaching (ICLLT 2015), which is held in parallel with IC21CE 2015. The aim of the ICLLT conference is to explore the latest developments in language learning instruction and assessment.
